EXCERPT:

RUBIO: “One of the things I see a lot in South Florida are people that have been in this country, maybe they came from Cuba 45 years ago, they’ve worked here their entire lives, they’re retired, they get $800, $900, $1,000 a month from Social Security, and then they run into somebody who just got here from Cuba three months ago, who’s 29 years old, doesn’t work, and is given $1,500 a month in benefits by our government because they’re refugees. That refugee, a year later, is traveling back to Cuba 15 times. So, you’re a refugee fleeing oppression from a place that you now go back and visit 15 times the following year?”
